Preface: If you are reading this, welcome.

I need to stress that each one of my posts will demonstrate another area of expertise. I am capable of relating to nearly any person on the planet in a very human way...This means, I may use words, slang and expressions that might give the reader an impression of me that is incorrect.Be warned that you cannot grasp the multitude of experience nor the disparetness and extent of my intellectual process from simply reading one or two of my posts.

Enjoy the journalism, literary journalism and personal opinion you are about to encounter.

Depicting a night at twitter-land, jesse finds a certain twitter user making all the wrong keystrokes with reckless abandon? I think, yes, perhaps very much so...

His rudeness to @megfowler caught my eye the other day, and I attempted to converse with him in order to...get to know his motives a bit better. And he's founded an attack on @newmediajim, a working man reporting on Bush's trip abroad, for no apparent reason other than to accentuate his apparent lack of...tact, I think is the correct term. Others have used the term A$$hole, but that's their statement, not mine...

Chanced to run across his blog today, and left comments giving props and kudos, only to see my comments promptly removed. I will re-post here now:

I really like the fact that you really are a very intelligent person. I complimented you because I may be about to blast you.I may not be, as well. I’ll leave that determination to you.The other day you asked me why I hadn't been bloggin' since it's been, in what I took as an attempt to belittle my age and...gumption, or desire, I suppose, if not just the latter, 4 years since I graduated. I'm here to thank you for making this place for me to blog. I actually choose, till now, not to be able to afford the time to put together a professional place to write, and I’m no amateur.

Well, back at the ranch, it seems like a "narrow" (like this term) thought to assert "most folk" see much similarity in the root terms of the words accurate and precise.I disagree that many people assume such similarity in meaning, just for the plain fact that it is very easy to be accurately imprecise. I use this statement of yours to argue that, as I've noticed, in my limited interaction with you over the past few days, you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder.I said, you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder.This fact, if indeed I am correct (and really, I almost always am), is not necessarily a bad thing. I just think you need to take your chip and place it on a winning number. The chances are that if you choose correctly, you have the chance to actually make a difference, instead of just claiming the house ruined your hand, and leaving disappointed.You are quite intelligent. Use this intelligence to not only demonstrate the deficiencies, but to also seek a solution for them.Other than that, I would suggest that the last line of your post is clunky, and that there is a typo involving the use of the word how, I’m sure you mean to say, "and that's how [and not hot] it is with the A-list..."Further, I ask, where do you get your style at, as it pertains to the usage of a space preceding an ellipsis? I do not believe that is how most people do it. Or, as you said to me, "it's unusual" for people to do...so and so, etc....And you know what I mean...you were discussing my link to a .pdf file rather than an url...etc...the day we talked with our friend, or at least my friend, @megfowler.Oh, and concerning your statements about @megfowler, have you thought of an apology? I apologize for making your private comments to me about her public, but I think it is the kind of statement you ought not make, should you not be willing to state thus publicly.I do believe it is worthwhile to give people a break now and then...wouldn't you agree?I told you I sometimes make a harsh first impression, but I always end up looking good in the end. This is a valuable asset to achieving what I want.Finally, I'll close with a sincere compliment to your writing, I was nearly able to keep from scrolling faster than I am actually able to read while browsing your page. It held my attention, for the most part. Thank you for your thoughts.Yours,@jesatiu

I realize my response is full of typographical errors as well, yes. I was not faulting you on this, just editorializing.I also did not realize, as I had not logged into twitter prior to leaving my comment, that you had called me a dick in a direct message and indicated you "blocked" me.I do think you are wrong, but entitled to your opinion. I apologize for whatever miscommunication it was that lead you to believe I was intentionally trying to be a "dick," as you say.I live life attempting to better the world around me. You are mistaken and unnecessarily hostile.Yours,Jesse

I have to tell you I got great inspiration from your words, "I just think you need to take your chip and place it on a winning number. The chances are that if you choose correctly, you have the chance to actually make a difference, instead of just claiming the house ruined your hand, and leaving disappointed.You are quite intelligent. Use this intelligence to not only demonstrate the deficiencies, but to also seek a solution for them."

I tend to let carbon monoxide poisoning make me feel sorry for myself, especially when my hand tremor makes it difficult for me to draw--but I'm going to remember this and turn it into a "winning hand." :-);-)
